Sir Keir Starmer will abolish NHS England and bring NHS management into government control.
The Prime Minister made the announcement at a speech in Yorkshire on Thursday morning. The news came as part of a raft of changes targeting the “flabby” public sector.
He says this will bring management of the NHS “back into democratic control”.
Sir Keir says the move will put the NHS “back at the heart of government where it belongs,” he says, “freeing it to focus on patients, less bureaucracy, with more money for nurses.”
The prime minister adds that the NHS will “refocus” on cutting waiting times at “your hospital”.
NHS England is the body which leads the National Health Service in England. It is responsible for delivering high-quality care, supporting staff, and ensuring value for money.
On Monday, Health Secretary Wes Streeting announced largescale restructuring at NHS England, with jobs due to be cut by half.
